In this episode Denise McIntosh talks with Jules Brinn, segment manager for high-purity OEM sales at American Air Filter, traces an unlikely path from sports medicine student at East Carolina University to a 20-year career in air filtration. Jules and Denise talk about navigating complex Department of Energy and pharmaceutical manufacturing projects, and what it’s like to be the only woman on her outside sales team. She also reflects on the broader opportunity in manufacturing including the range of roles, the pay, and the message she’d send to young people still figuring out their path: slow down, keep exploring, and enjoy your time.
